Patented Jan. 31, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE IRVING B. ROWE, OFS'IONINGTON, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO Til AI'WOOD IACEINE COMPANY, 01STONINGTON, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION 0] NEW JERSEY WINDING CHINEApplication am April as,

My invention consists in a double deck.

winding machine in which there is provided means for preventing theloose end of a broken thread on the winding spool for one deck beingthrown over and becoming wound onto the winding spool for the otherdeck.

My invention more particularly comprises a series of thread guards, asfor instance guard plates located between the inner and outer rows ofwinding spools for the two decks, said guard plates being carried by thebearing brackets for the winding spools; a guard plate being locatedbetween each pair of inner and outer spools and their pair of bearingbrackets.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in theaccompanying drawing in which:

Fig. 1 represents a detail top plan view of a double deck windingmachine showing one of the double spool winding units with my spoolseparating guard plate in position therein.

Fig. 2 represents a vertical cross section taken in the plane of theline IIII of Fig. 1.

The usual pair of upper and lower longitudinal side bars 1 and 2 of thewinding machine frame have brackets 3 secured at intervals thereto forrotatably supporting the shaft 4 for the friction winding wheels 5.

These longitudinal side bars also have brackets 6 secured thereto at theproper distances apart for receiving between each two brackets a pair ofinner and outer winding spools 7 and 8, the rows of inner and outerwinding spools in the present instance being designed to windrespectively the threads from the upper and lower decks of Swifts (notshown).

The ends of the inner and outer spindles 9 and 10 of each pair of innerand outer Winding spools are rotatably mounted in bearings 11 and 12respectively, in the inner and outer arms 13 and 14 of levers rotatablyadjustable on arms 15 uprising fromthe bracket 6 so that the heads 16and 17 of said spindles will properly rest upon their friction windingwheel 5. In the present instance each lever is pivoted at 18 to theuprising bracket arm 1931. serial Io. 532,771.

15 and a clamp bolt 19 asses through the lever and a concentric eongated slot 20 in the arm 15 and is provided with anut 21 for securingthe lever in its proper rotative ad ustment.

The means which I have provided for separating the inner and outerwinding spools of each pair is shown as a guard plate 22 secured at eachside thereof at its lower edge to one of a pair of op ositely pro'ectmglateral ears 23 on the racket 6. is guard plate projects upwardly andforwardly over the outer spool 8 and effectually separates the twospools and thus prevents the loose end of a broken thread from beingthrown over from one spool into a position where it would be wound ontothe other spool.

This guard late is shown as having a recess 24 for the ree passagetherethrough of the peripher of the friction winding wheel 5, thus enaling the lower edge of the guard plate to be brought well down betweenthe inner and outer winding spools.

The bracket 6 is shown as supporting at its outer end the traverse bar25 and as supporting on an uprising arm 26 at its inner end the traversebar 27 for the upper deck or inner winding s ools.

It is evident t at various changes may be resorted to in theconstruction, form and I arrangement of the several parts without 7 2.In a winding machine, a friction wind-- ing wheel, inner and outerhorizontally disposed winding s ools driven thereby, a pair of bracketsforming bearing supports for the spools, and an upwardly and forwardlprojecting guard plate located between t e inner and outer windingspools and their pair of an rting brackets, said ard late being s c edat each side therg f at its lower edge to its adf'slcent bracket.

3. In a win g machine, a friction wind- 6 ing wheel, inner and outerhorizontally diswindin spools driven thereby, a pair of brackets ormingbearing sup rts for the spools, and an upwardly and orwardly projectingguard plate located between the 10 inner and outer winding spools andtheir Eeair of supporting brackets, said guard plate ing secured at eachside thereof at its lower edge to its adjacent bracket, the guard tKlatehaving a recess for the/free passage ere- 15 through of the periphery ofthe said windin wheel, to permit the ard plate to be locates well downbetween t e inner and outer windi spools.

testimony, that I claim the foregoing as 20 my invention, I have signedmy name this 22nd day of April, 1931.
